Methodist Heritage

Methodist Heritage aims to preserve the heritage of the People Called Methodists, and to use our heritage as a tool for contemporary mission.

@verity_smith89 @RuthMGee @EpworthOld @EngleseaBrook @NewRoomBristol @museummethodism Given that it's estimated he rode 250,000 miles over his lifetime, let's hope he had quite a few horses!

Yesterday @NewRoomBristol shared that they would be singing a song from Ride! Ride! at their Singing and Stories Workshop, resulting in many exclamations of 'There was a John Wesley musical?!'
The musical opened in London on Wesley Day in 1976. Were you there? What was it like?

[John Wesley’s New Room @NewRoomBristol]

Apparently John Wesley: The Musical is a thing…🏇

Not sure if it's been performed since the 70s, but now you can sing a song from it yourself! (tomorrow 11:30am)

And yes, we had to urgently change our Singing and Stories Workshop programme after this discovery.

[Methodist Heritage @MethodistHerit]

@WesleysChapel @museummethodism We've found the full plot outline here: https://t.co/L6Iiou5PIY
Hope you're picking a cheerful number to sing @NewRoomBristol !

[Methodist Heritage @MethodistHerit]

@wjpme Glad you enjoyed your visit to @EngleseaBrook - they tell such important stories, and they always provide great hospitality and cake!

[Methodist Heritage @MethodistHerit]

@sashahandley We'll see what we can find Sasha!

Do you remember favourite songs or choruses from church in the 1950s(ish)? Share them below to help @DebsRWalton out!

[Deborah Walton @DebsRWalton]

Methodist Church friends, can you help?
Next week at our local care home I am planning on doing a Sunday School type service and wonder whether you might be able to suggest some songs or choruses that were popular in #MethodistChurch #SundaySchools about 70 years ago. Thank you!

[John Wesley’s New Room @NewRoomBristol]

Thank you for this information @OCMCHBrookes!

To celebrate John Wesley’s Birthday our amazing café team made some ginger cake for our visitors!

Make sure to stop by for a slice of our special Wesley Birthday Cake.

If you’re at #MethodistConf today, our friends from @EngleseaBrook are hosting a fringe event, sharing the incredible story of Temperance Frost. You can find out more here: https://t.co/rqOHf0CCHM

[Methodist Heritage @MethodistHerit]

We’re also sharing a selection of stories from #MyJusticeJourney, where people shared artefacts that represented their journey with justice issues as part of the #WalkingWithMicah project. The volunteers on the stand are picking their favourite stories each day. #MethodistConf

[Methodist Heritage @MethodistHerit]

We are at #MethodistConf all week, promoting the brilliant museums - @EngleseaBrook @EpworthOld @NewRoomBristol @museummethodism Each day we have a different volunteer who can tell you about the site they represent (Except today, when you’ll find the Heritage Officer instead!)

[Methodist Heritage @MethodistHerit]

People have shared justice issues related to disability, food poverty, slavery, racism, war, marriage, housing, sex work, prisons, the environment, and even chocolate! All have been moving, challenging, and equally important. So we thank you for sharing your #MyJusticeJourney /2

[Methodist Heritage @MethodistHerit]

As #MyJusticeJourney draws to a close, it’s been an incredible week: stories of changes in daily lives to changes in law; personal moments and institutional change; stories of well known figures and others we’ve never heard of. Many told stories of injustice as well as justice 1/
